AEM DryFlow Air Filter 28-20460

I have used AEM filters in my last 5 cars and will continue doing so. I have tried the K&N and Spectre filters and having to deal with the oiling is just a pain when the AEMs do just as good and easier to maintain. Just understand that these and the other non paper filters will not make your car gain massive power gains or MPG maybe 1 or 2 HP and some gas mileage (I alway gain some mpg with the switch) what they do do is save you from buying new filters every 6 months and that cost savings is the biggest perk

Great price here on Amazon everywhere else was 15-25 bucks more. Fits perfect. Does make acceleration quicker and when you step on the gas YOU CAN HERE THE AIR BEING SUCKED IN THROUGH THE BOX. Not as much as an actual cold air intake but definitely noticeable. Great filter over the stock OEM paper filter. And the best thing is it is reusable and can be cleaned with AEM Dryflow Air Filter Cleaner.

I bought this air filter to go with the hellcat bottom airbox I purchased. It fits perfectly and you can notice a significant difference in how the car drives, it seems to shift better than it did before with the auto 8 speed transmission. As for better gas mileage, I haven’t had it long enough to see much difference. It does feel like it has more power though. over all I’m happy with this purchase and even if I don’t get better mileage, I’m happy with the way the car drives now. It use to have a bit of a hesitation when you give it some beans, but that seems to be gone now. The filter itself is a high quality filter. way better than the stock filters that the dealership put in.

price was great i would say a REAL sweet deal, will save me money in the long run. Fit’s better than the o.e. filter. performance & fuel mileage seems to be a little better, IF you drive and resist the urge to be a speed Junkie.

easy order process, quick delivery and great fitment. My Chrysler 300C AWD 5.7 liter V8 feels noticeably smoother in acceleration. I have not really noticed a change in mileage, but do not regret replacing my stock air filter at 13.5k miles. I have used K&N and other oiled filters before on other vehicles, but this is my first dry flow. Only have about 500 miles with the new filter. So far so good.

Excellent so far.

First off, I’ve only had this for a couple days at the writing of this review so I can’t comment on longevity.

Build Quality: Excellent, high quality construction with consistent weave. I can’t see through the filter at any point. I’ve purchased many K&N and other oiled filters and this is just as well made as those all have been.

Installation: Easy! All you need is a screw driver to unscrew the lid of the charger’s airbox (3 screws) pop the old filter out pop the new one in. This actually seemed to have a better fit than the stock paper filter for the Charger RT.
It would be better to detach the entire air box from the throttle body using a socket but you can absolutely install this just by opening the lid of the box. It has three screws in the front and 3 tabs in back. The tabs in back act as hinges so just pull up on the front then you can slide the back tabs out if you need to.

Performance: AEM doesn’t really make any claims of horsepower gains with this filter. Most people I’ve talked to say this actually hinders performance a little. The filtering area seems a tad bit smaller compared to the stock filter (perfect fit just a little more rubber padding) which could reduce airflow, also this is a non-oiled dry flow filter. Aside from maybe some paper filters this is your best bet at actually filtering. The oiled filters allow greater airflow but they let in a whole bunch of debris as well, if you’re a novice you also risk over-oiling them and pulling that oil into your engine. I bought this filter so I wouldn’t have to keep buying paper ones, performance increasing was not a motivation, on our 5.7L chargers you would hardly notice a difference in performance anyways – I had a Short-Ram intake for this with a HUGE oiled filter and yea it sounded great but the performance was maybe 5-10hp gained, and unnoticeable on a car that has 370+hp.

Appearance: This thing looks great. The paper filter isn’t menacing at all, granted nobody sees this on a normal occasion but if you really want people to know, this filter did include an AEM sticker. As an added bonus to how cool this thing looks, when you turn off your car it makes a short hiss like it would with a cold-air/short-ram intake. I have a cat-back exhaust system as well so it’s possible that affects the noise of the intake.

I was pleased to see this for $38 on Amazon, it’s not a bad deal at all, and I’m entirely happy.
